I am re reading Dark Gold for about the 5th time and decided it was time for me to do a review. I loved Aiden Savage. What a hot Carpathian. His Lifemate Alxeandria Houton, at times was a bit annoying. While on a job interview with the famous game designer Thomas Ivan she falls victim to the Vampire Paul Yohenstria. Alex had brought her young brother Joshua Houton on the interview with her and left a friendly homeless man name Henry to watch over him while she mets with Thomas Ivan. Alex immediately feels the lure of the vampire and know instinctively that her brother and Henry are in danger. When she attempts to rescue Josh away from the vampire who is luring Josh to him. Alex is attacked the vampire takes her blood. Well she let it happen thinking this would save her brother. Poor Henry has already been viciously murder by what she thinks at the time is a mad man. Paul takes Alex and Josh to his liar a cave setting right off the ocean. He believes Alex is his Lifemate that will save his soul if he converts her to a vampire. Alexandra suffers another viscous attack by the vampire taking her blood, while still in the caves She tell Josh to hide and during the day to try and find away for him to escape. Aiden is an 800 year old Carpathian vampire Hunter with golden hair tall and just too sexy for words. He finds Alexandria & Josh in the captivity of Paul. Aiden destroys the vampire, but he believes that Paul has changed Alex into a vampiress prying on young children He thinks she is hurting Josh instead of protecting him. He starts to kill her when he discovers he is feeling emotions and seeing in colors the things that he would only feel and see when he meets his lifemate.Aiden and Alex are a good match, but at times Alex gets on my nerves blaming Aiden for turning her into a Carpathian or an immortal. She would have turned anyway becasue Paul the vampire had already started the process of conversion with two complete blood exchanges. I loved all the characters in the book. Marie and Stefan her husband are the humans whose family for generations has provided care & help for Aiden Savage and his brother Julian Savage see "Bk5 Dark Challenge". Josh an 8 year old human boy whose life has been changed becasue of what has happen to his sister, is such a beautiful little boy that brings a lot of depth to the storyline. The Romance is hot an exciting between Aiden and Alex and you begin to see that some of her foolishness is because she is so young. I grew to like her by the end of the story. I Highly Recommend Dark Gold and the entire Dark Series by Christine Feehan my all time favorite Paranormal Romance author. Check out her GhostWalker series, its not about ghosts LOL!! But genetically Engineered Military Men. It is another great Romantic and Highly Sensual Paranormal series by this author.
